Good. I am actively working on the front lines of the Ukraine war in a humanitarian capacity.[1] The danger posed to civilians and soldiers by stolen intelligence is real, and the cavalier sharing of such documents without regard to the consequences is, and should be, a serious crime punishable to the fullest extent of the law.

Well the good news is, from everything I’ve seen in this leak, the info has been harmless. Lamest “leak” of all time tbh.

  Someone on NPR mentioned that it included locations running low on ammo in Ukraine, and they were discussing how this wasn’t good timing for an upcoming spring offensive.

    uff, that's big if true, it could jeopardize the entire plan. But then again, Ukraine has been saying only 5 people know of the true plan, so maybe it won't matter (surely more people know which depos are running low).

Do you have other charity or non-profit recommendations aside from your own personal one? Only asking because I have no measure[1] of how effective yours has been, and I figure in your capacity, you likely don't mind who the intermediary is just so long as it gets to the right place.

  Yes, we're only a year old, and haven't even filed our first tax return yet! The key with us is that we're not an intermediary, we do the sourcing and delivering of aid ourselves. We're one of the few that do -- most NGOs you would have heard of outsource their deliveries to us. Obviously, I think we're incredibly effective, and if you'd like to hear more details, I'd love to share: shoot me an email brian [at] ukraineaidinternational.org

There's give and take here. For example, we see that US, UK and other NATO countries have their constituent special forces on the ground in Ukraine. For the United States this requires a literal act of Congress if US troops are on the ground for more than 30 days. This is at a minimum an indictable offense by a sitting US president, though it is not without precedent.
